Five French Hens
by Judy Leigh

Amazon / B&N / BB

When 73-year-old Jen announces that she is going to marry Eddie, a man she met just a few months previously on a beach on Boxing Day, her four best friends from aqua aerobics are flabbergasted.

The wedding is booked and, when the groom decides to have a stag trip to Las Vegas, the ladies arrange a hen party to beat all others -a week in the city of love, Paris.

From misadventures at the Louvre, outrageous Parisian cabarets, to drinking champage with dashing a millionaire at the casino, Paris lives up to all their hopes and dreams. But a week can change everything, and the women that come home have very different dreams from the ones who got on the plane just days ago.

My Review:

This was an absolute joy to read and an inspiration to those of us on the other side of 60 to not let the grass grow under our feet. I adored these characters and enjoyed getting to know them. Ms. Leigh’s writing style is always well-honed, easy to follow, perfectly paced, and highly amusing,
